Regular parents of some famous kid, Will and Kate, have said “mmm, quite!“ to the concept of social media — perhaps so they don’t truly slip into the abyss of irrelevancy — they’re now giving it a go on instagram and twitter. You go, mum and dad!
By “they” I mean, “some unidentified group of social media managing hacks”, naturally – what’s been posted so far smells not a whiff of authentic. In other words, it’s as bland as hell.
Third-wheeling for life, Prince Harry has been rung in on the @kensingtonroyal accounts, a terribly lazy addition that surely is just damage control for what would inevitably be the incredible, but inappropriate, social media meanderings of Prince Harry himself.
Let’s take a look at Keeping up With The Kensingtons, a reality show pitch that E! keeps ignoring my emails about. (Rude.) (Would watch tho.)
On twitter, Prince Harry is struggling. You do you, babe.
Prince Harry: “Completing the #Coachcore programme has, I know, not been easy – but then trying to be the best you can be isn’t easy”

On instagram, the royals have a rather quaint 43,000 followers, are following nobody, and don’t seem to know how instagram works: there’s no selfies, no Prince George (for fuck’s sake), no dogs.
I can get on board with this sly face though.
